#6 Iowa at Michigan State Preview

October 24th 7:00 ET

Line: Pick

The Hawkeyes won another big road game as they left Madison with a hard earned victory over the Badgers. QB Ricky Stanzi was efficient going 17 of 23 for 218 yards and a score. Freshmen Adam Robinson toted the rock 20 times for 91 yards and a touchdown. The Hawkeye defense forced Wisconsin QB Scott Tolzien into three interceptions limiting the Badgers to only 10 points. The Hawkeyes moved into sole possession of 1 st place with the victory.

The Hawkeyes have two tough road games left on the schedule with the 1 st coming this weekend at East Lansing. Since starting 1-3 with heartbreaking losses to Central Michigan, Notre Dame and Wisconsin, the Spartans have bounced back nicely with 3 consecutive victories. Sparty QB Kirk Cousins threw two touchdowns in their last victory over Northwestern. WR Blair White grabbed 12 balls for 186 yards and two scores.

Prediction: Michigan State is a much different team in their last 3 games. The defense is playing better while the offense has played well for the majority of the season. Cousins and White will be a challenge for the Hawkeye defense which has played extremely well. Adam Robinson and Ricky Stanzi will make enough plays to pull out another big road victory for the Hawkeyes. Iowa 23 Michigan State 17
